We have another excellent speaker lined up for our February meeting. Debbie McGuire of the Canada Border Services Agency will give a presentation on the various legal aspect of importing and how it relates to our hobby.
The meeting will be held February 28, 2011 starting at 7pm at JA Dulude Arena. There will be no mini-auction at this meeting as the Giant Auction is being held on March 6, 2011.
Debbie began her career with the Government of Canada in 1999 with the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency. In 2002, Debbie took a position with the Trade Division and began working in outreach. Following the creation of the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) in 2003, Debbie became a Senior Trade Officer in the Northern Ontario Region assisting importers and brokers in the St-Lawrence District to help them meet the obligations of new trade legislation and policies introduced after September 11, 2001. Debbie continues to deliver outreach information sessions and represents the CBSA at trade shows within the region. She is available to provide advice and on-site client visits or formal importing information seminars focusing on customs and trade legislation compliance issues.
